After 4+ years of waiting, our dream of becoming parents is finally a reality! We wanted to be able to share this journey with our friends and family via this blog. We were blessed with the birth of our embryo adopted daughter Makenna Lee on June 2, 2010. We were doubly blessed on October 14, 2013 when Alexander Brooks was born. Alexander and Makenna are genetic siblings and we are so very thankful to their Texas Fan Club for sharing the gift of life with us!

Fun in a laundry basket...
Someone's gettin' ready for the superbowl:)
This reminds me of some pictures my mom has of me when I was a baby with my head back and chubby cheeked smile.
She just looks so sweet in this one.

Got my first toother this morning!
Daddy put his finger in my mouth during church and I chomped down on his finger to try out my new tooth!

What a good day!!
Thank you Grandma and Grandpa B for babysitting me this morning so mommy could go to Starbucks and read!!
I promised Makenna that after her nap we could go swimming with daddy - here she is after a good long nap all happy and ready to go!
She and daddy had SO much fun at the pool!
Wowee, swimming makes me sleepy! Time for some daddy cuddles...
And then daddy kisses...
What a good day and a happy happy baby girl. She's just SO stinkin' cute!
Happy happy girl!!

Does this suit make me look fat?
Took Makenna on her first swimming excursion at the Wisconsin Athletic Club. We had lots of fun and thankfully, some kind ladies were able to take a few pics of us:) Although I, of course made sure to take plenty before we left, too!
LOVE the little ruffle butt!
Let's go already, mom!
She seems very unimpressed in this picture. She actually was having a pretty good time - she kept moving her legs around in the water and then letting them float up.
In a few weeks, Amy & Eric and the kids are coming down for a waterpark weekend at the Country Springs - Makenna is going to have SO much fun with them!! I love that she has on Madison's old swimsuit and coverup, too. Thanks, Amy! I'm prety sure the pear suit wasn't going to fit her anymore--

First Haircut!
Today Oma and I gave Makenna her very first haircut. I must admit I had a hard time doing it - but her hair was getting a bit long in the back and it was time to ax the mullet. A little off the back and a little off the sides and she's a brand new girl.
Not sure i'm ready for this..
ok, mama make it quick
maybe the mullet is pretty long...
bye bye hair! there were some REALLY long pieces in there
So pretty
look at me oma, i'm so pretty
all done!

Snow day means.....
more pictures!! Had a little fun with a steal of a dress we found at Baby Gap for $7 last week. Gosh, she's just so stinkin' cute. She wasn't overly smiley today, but I did get some really sweet shots of her. Enjoy!!
I think this one is my favorite:)
Are these little shoes not adorable??
You can almost hear her "ooooh" in this one!

You know your thighs are chubby when.......
This is the reaction 30 seconds after getting a flu shot jabbed in her thigh;). Hardly even flinched!
